How lovely, both C and her music. I must admit I teared up, as it's wonderful to have her share her music and appear happy about it.

And, the Wistla whistle is back round her neck! (I wondered if Wistla was still 'a thing' or a had been a phase as it's been some time since I've seen a mention).

That performance was raw and beautiful and I don't even like this song.

A busy little bee, our beautiful Christine.

Oh how I adore that woman!

Her style is so unassuming yet direct. Love how she kind of shrugs and smiles when she's finished.

It would be great if, on the next FM tour, she could play Game of Pretend and Stevie could play Lady.

Me too!!! She really is one of a kind. So classy, talented, and still down to Earth.

Serious question - will most venues let you bring in a dozen roses these days? Because that's my plan for next Friday, but if they're going to make me toss them at the gate, it would semi-ruin my night. Before you ask, the stupid venue never answers their phones, or emails...

She was very good and also sang "that's how I feel about you " she chatted with Ken, and indeed mentioned a hope of UK tour, Lindsey would like to....

She also said "We all love each other, and I can say that with abandon "

She sounded happy and confident, she was lovely.

I just watched the performance- beautiful. I was with her all the way and she pulled it off superbly.
Just listening to the interview now. Interestingly she said Feel About You was a song she'd written and sent to Lindsey as one of the initial demos. There had been speculation this was one of Lindsey's tracks that Chris just wrote words to. It sounds as if the bare bones of the song were Christine's.

It was a really nice interview. I remember when she and Ken did "Tracks of my Years" about 4 years ago.

Christine was just interviewed on the One Show. The Fleetwood Mac tour will start next summer. Rehearsals in March. Its been pushed back further and further. At least it leaves plenty of time for BM to extend their tour and COME TO THE UK.

Nice enough interview but the same old story of how they did the record and how she rejoined the band. A couple of heart in mouth moments where I was concerned she'd not understood the questions...but it was okay.

She's singing Songbird in a few minutes.
